[QGIS-Developer] MAC QGIS 3.x build

[Peter Petrik]

Hi,

thank you for your suggestions and pointing me the to right places in
documentations.  After some struggle and frustration, I managed to setup my
MacOS environment to be able to do some productive work on QGIS. I ended up
with homebrew approach and especially
qgis/homebrew-qgisdev/development/README.md was helpful. The QGIS build
with qt 5.11.1 looks usable too.

Unfortunately I had some issues with tap qgis/homebrew-qgisdev. It is not
possible to even tap it from master and qgis3 formulae is not working. The
QGIS3 formulae in OSGeo4mac homebrew repository is updated and working. I
am wondering if qgis/homebrew-qgisdev is actively maintained and used?
Also, what is the benefit to maintain this formula over osgeo4mac/qgis3
formulae (they are very similar)?

Prepared https://github.com/qgis/homebrew-qgisdev/pull/72 with changes I
made to be able to build QGIS3 (I used the scripts, development/README.md
and followed the QT Creator path in the document). We should update
qgis/QGIS/INSTALL for OSX (that was the first doc I checked). I am happy to
help with docs and homebrew-qgisdev, but first I need to clarify the status
of qgis/homebrew-qgisdev.

Thanks,
Peter
